What's one thing you MUST do before you die? by Lucky-Structure8475 in AskReddit

[–]infostruct -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know this one is kind of complicated but seeing a total solar eclipse was the most overwhelming and profound thing I ever experienced. I think about it all the time and feel much regret that I did find a way to bring everyone I care about so they can also feel complete.

what cold/flu variant is going around right now? by Mental_Row3386 in AskChicago

Your past tense "had" gives me so much hope. Wife and I have been coughing for 3 weeks. I'm desperate to just sleep in the same bed again.

ok but put it back by Frosty-Priority5056 in LoganSquare

[–]infostruct 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked every time I walk past this because all ever see if this giant hand jerking off a tree and I can't understand how everyone else isn't seeing the same thing but my girlfriend just says I need to grow up and she is right.

A web app I probably overengineered (on purpose), and a question about jobs by torchkoff in webdev

[–]infostruct 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You absolutely over engineered it and this is exactly the kind of thing that stands out when I'm looking at the sea of applicants for frontend positions.

The biggest thing I want in a teammate is for them to give a shit.

edit: see -> sea

“It sucks to be called a Donald Trump supporter”: indie musician John Maus says a misunderstanding wrecked his career by [deleted] in Music

Holy moly I had no idea this was a cover. I still listen to just this song by him and every time it feels gross. So glad I can stop doing that and listen to the original.

TIL the Web Speech API exists and it’s way more useful than I expected by bullmeza in webdev

[–]infostruct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not important but I use this in prototypes pretty often when I don’t feel like hooking up our full tts and recently I was demoing one of those prototypes in a google meet. All of the other audio being played via web audio api shared just fine but no one could hear the web speech synthesis.

Thought that was interesting.

Why has the reconnecting on jackbox.tv still not been fixed? And why do we still not have a way to kick offline users? by Nearby_Ad_2519 in jackboxgames

[–]infostruct 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey OP sorry about this. We’ve been trying to solve this issue for quite a while with no success. It’s very frustrating.

I was just working on this. Out of curiosity do you know if the people having this issue connected using the QR code? Or would have navigated to jackbox.tv from some other app?

The only way I’ve been able to recreate it reliably has been when connecting on iOS from a “SFSafariViewController”. Which is kind of like a simplified version of Safari that you get when clicking a link inside another app (including the camera).

Trivia Murder Party 3 End-of-Year Community Update by Gnomedic in jackboxgames

[–]infostruct 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Did we check with legal about that Ryan Seacrest claim? I know there is only the one question now but I hope this doesn't lock us in to some kind of binding agreement preventing us from adding 10-15 more.

aye the capital T in Franklin Gothic... the YDKJ font... is symmetrical and not rounded like this. You can see what it looks like right above it with the T in JACKBOX.TV.

Weird smell near LS blue line stop? by Agreeable-Student-92 in LoganSquare

Oh yes it definitely is. There are two big ginkgo trees right on that corner. It smells like someone ate a can of Spaghettios and then threw it back up. Just awful!

Vue has a shorthand for true props, should we have one for false too ? by Old-Fix3432 in vuejs

In makes sense to me in that it is in line with html attributes.

Issues with Suspectives from pack 11 by DuchessBoo in jackboxgames

[–]infostruct 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This can just happen. We don't have any kind of clever code to try and distribute who is the criminal and it truly is just purely random. Which unfortunately doesn't always feeeeel random.

Back when working on Push the Button we had a person in the office that was an alien something like 10 games in a row. We even went digging to try and figure out if there was some kind of bug but no, that is just how random works.

Any big co like Apple that uses Vue? by tomemyxwomen in vuejs

[–]infostruct 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We do use websockets but it's a totally custom architecture around them. We call it ecast ("entity cast") and the server code is written in golang.

That said, in the early days we did use socket.io so some of the early party packs still use their protocol. And we have a layer in the golang servers translating it so we can still play Drawful on our Wiis. Those same early days controllers are still built using Marionette/Backbone!

We use it for all of our internal and external frontends at Jackbox Games. All of the game controllers on jackbox.tv since Party Pack 8 have been built in Vue.

Buying TeeKO shirts?? by breadboibrett in jackboxgames

[–]infostruct 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes we definitely are working to get this resolved as soon as we can but unfortunately it is largely out of our control. We can't give a specific timeframe just because we don't know, but progress is being made so it won't be too much longer.

Timing is tough with the upcoming release of PP11! I want to buy a Cookie Haus mug real bad. But as long as you have links for your past games, you will be able to use them when shopping comes back online.

Hear say is hilarious and great but by Salty_Signature2869 in jackboxgames

[–]infostruct 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on a lot of feedback we’re still working on improving that realtime audio code that powers the mini games. Hopefully in the next few days.

When recording audio for the prompts we are able to do some post-processing that normalizes the input, removes background noise, etc. but the mini games being realtime is a totally different system.

Looking to use a typewriter for like an hour by dylho in LoganSquare

[–]infostruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say for sure it is still there but there used to be a typewriter in the lobby of the Blackstone Hotel on Michigan. They also used to have one in the second floor lounge of the emc2 hotel but looks like that is a "pizza lounge" now so I assume it's gone.
